Newspapers and media companies nationwide are closing or suffering mass layoffs since the coronavirus impacted all of us starting in March. City Weekly's entire existence is directly tied to people getting together in groups--in clubs, restaurants, and at concerts and events--which are the industries most affected by new coronavirus regulations.

Our industry is not healthy. Yet, City Weekly has continued publishing thanks to the generosity of readers like you. Utah needs independent journalism more than ever, and we're asking for your continued support of our editorial voice. We are fighting for you and all the people and businesses hardest hit by this pandemic.

9 Late-Night Eats

A guide to nocturnal noshing in SLC

When most of Salt Lake City is eating or relaxing after a long day at the office, Steve Williams is serving up jazz music on KUER 90.1 from 8 p.m. to midnight every weeknight. If he’s in the mood for food after he signs off, Williams will usually hit up the drive-thru Del Taco on 400 South or the Village Inn. “One of the chefs has been there for many years and knows how I like everything,” he says. But, though Williams “used to go out all the time after work,” he says, “unless I find friends who want to join me, I kinda find myself alone in those hours.”

So, besides all-night breakfast joints, where is the late-night crowd these days? Though the city’s dining options do dwindle after 9 p.m., there are still places where late-night workers and worshippers of the night can dine on quality cuisine until midnight or later. We’ve compiled a list of nine, as well as a few of the bars that up the ante on standard bar snacks and keep their kitchens open late.
